The aim of this book is to help cotton growers, field consultants and agronomists correctly identify the wide range of pests and beneficials that can be found in the crops they manage. Accurate identification is one of the foundations for making sound pest management decisions. When pests are correctly identified, the relevant thresholds can be applied and appropriate control measures selected. For beneficials, correct identification means that their potentially important role in regulating pest populations can be utilised more effectively
